Elderly woman charred to death as house catches fire

Rajamahendravaram , Dec 7 A 66-year-old woman was charred to death as her thatched house in Yeleswaram mandal in East Godavari district caught fire, police said today.

The incident took place late last night at Dibbalavari Palem on the outskirts of Yeleswaram, in which the woman identified as P Seetharthanam died, police said.
